Well today was fall picture day at daycare so we had to schnazz him up for his special day! I think we succeeded! From what we were told, Gabriel was a total ham for the photographer and they even heard a lot of belly laughs! Apparently he was the best behaved child during pictures today!!

Gabriel had on his Sunday best for church which was simply the most adorable outfit. Thankfully when he got too vocal, I gave him my keys to keep him quiet -- for maybe five minutes! The back of that blue vest has the most adorable Kenneth Cole crest. I hope he doesn't outgrow it too soon!!

After pumpkin patching, we got hungry and went to Panera where Gabriel proceeded to talk my other half of my everything bagel -- the better half too, which would be the side with all the seeds and salt. He wouldn't give it back and held onto it for dear life, even to the car in the rain, out of the car and into Books - A - Million! Now I now what to give him to keep him quiet!!

This past Saturday we took Gabriel to the Punkin Patch in Mandarin and had a blast! They had these red wagons that you could borrow to pull around to put your pumpkins in and Gabriel loved being pulled up and down the rows.

My parents were in town last week and this was Gabriel's first ride in the big carts! He absolutely adored it! The only downside is that navigating that cart through the aisles can be quite interesting!

Greg and Maria met almost 10 years ago and have been married for seven. They are the parents of Gabriel, a three year old, spunky, ornery, toddler, who loves all things arachnid and was adopted from Guatemala in 2007. This blog began as a way to spread the word of Gabriel's adoption and to keep everyone informed of all the stages. It is now the story of a Christian family trying to perfect their walk with Christ, their Savior, while learning what grace, mercy and forgiveness are *really* all about.
